Mckinsey.com News Network redesign (2002)

Often I am asked to not design but RE-design - to take an existing design and change nothing, while fixing "all the problems." I enjoy doing redesigns - analyzing other's work helps me improve my own. In this example, the client liked the overall look and feel, but was unsatisfied with the structure of the different sections of the page. What you see above is my redesign. Putting the official company intranet site in the bright orange bar to the left kept it as the "anchor" of the page while also clearly separating it from the dynamic content provided by the News Network in the main part of the page. Separating the more static features section from the news section creates a clear hierarchy of information, as does labelling each section with a clear title/description.
